April 1

Highlights:

• Math: we were introduced to our Inuksuk Challenge - in our table groups we must create an Inuksuk that have the following rules:
• 1. Tall as the tallest person in your group
  2. No wider than the shortest person in your group
  3. No rock can be longer than the tallest person’s arm
  4. Only 6 – 12 rocks in total

• Science: we talked about insulation and learned that...
• animals have blubber, fur, feathers, scales and so on
• humans use snow pants, jackets, mittens, wool scarves and sweaters, rubber boots
• humans use things to keep food warm or hot such as tin foil, plastic wrap, insulated lunch bags, and ice packs

• Word Work: grade 1s worked on "-ick Family" words while the grade 2s finished up their journals and then did silent reading. 

• Gym: we started a unit on dance - in groups we will be putting together our own "Stomp/step/clap" dance routine and then sharing it to the class at the end of the dance unit!
